They want to make sure whoever's operating system is popular runs on their chips, and I want to make sure whatever chips are popular run my operating system. We're very pragmatic...
...this into some perspective, consider Intel's newly released Pentium chip. This successor to the company's popular 80486 microprocessor contains an astonishing 3.1 million transistors on a die about the size of a quarter...

The entire design and testing process took almost four years and cost tens of millions of dollars...
...TALK PERSONAL COMPUTERS AND YOU ARE TALKING microprocessors -- the tiny silicon chips that are the PC's "brains." Talk microprocessors and you are talking Intel. The company, based in Santa Clara, California, is the world's leading PC-brain maker. Part of Intel's success has been its ability to stay a step ahead of the chip manufacturers making cheaper versions of Intel's high- performance product line. One of these is Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), based in nearby Sunnyvale, which has just scored a coup in the constantly changing world of chip competition: a judge overturned a jury...

Perhaps more important, Intel has already launched the next generation chip, the Pentium, destined to leave the 486 in the dust...
